Germans Discussion Thread

The only real option to finally achieve a good balance for Germans is the introduction of a new home city card "Berlin-Bagdad Railway" which turns all Uhlans into Spahis.

Murder on the Orient Express

The card should also give you a free spahi everytime a travois passes to make up for the XP Penalty!!!1!!1!

As a German enthousiast, I approve this message.

A Spahi is just a dopp on a horse right? perfect for germany. Card to convert all dopps to spahi

Dopps are simple men. They need no horse only mil Drummers and inca upgrade and they fly (;

This could potentially be the worst or best idea I've ever had regarding balancing Germany on no-tp maps. It is that we could give germany one of these guys right here:

On no TP maps. Combined with the church trickle this could help circumvent the blatant weakness of germany on no tp maps without any large impact on midgame. It would be very easy to code into map files (which is how it would be done), which already has precedent in TAD and EP- Japan getting extra berries on no-berry maps, which is coded on a map-to-map basis. It would get germany their 2sw earlier and make sure they have a shipment ready on hitting colonial, and after that you can add in your church and happily carry on your standard builds fairly similarly to a tp map.

Nah, too complicated.

Instead have uhlans (xp donators) actually absorb the kill xp that would be given to the opponent if they were deleted and return that xp to the German player (now xp receivers). So Germany can just choose to delete their free uhlans for more xp or train uhlans to delete for xp. I think the received xp should have a 3x multiplier for starters. This can be easily tweaked if it's decided it's too weak or too strong so it's a great EP change and it is an option and it increases strategic depth.

If uhlan hp revert is not gonna happen anytime, Maybe make them 1 pop like their russian counterpart? That way you don't build more houses but you can keep training uhlans which gives you more build xp. But then it's gonna make it harder to deal against germans on TP maps.

Simply give Uhlans more speed. 7.25 would be a good start.

Damn the ulhan bots really want their EP freelo don't they
